An incident gamma ray photon of wavelength 1.400 x 10–14 m is scattered *** a stationary nucleus. The shift in wavelength of the photon is measured for various scattering angles, and the results are plotted on the graph shown below.
(a) On the graph, sketch a best-fit curve to the data.
In one of the trials, the photon is scattered at an angle of 120° with its original direction.
(b) Calculate the wavelength of this photon after it is scattered *** the nucleus.
(c) Calculate the momentum of this scattered photon.
(d) Calculate the energy that this scattering event imparts to the recoiling nucleus.
